Start an interactive shell (Bash, by default) in a new root directory:
arch-chroot {{path/to/new_root}}


Specify the user (other than the current user) to run the shell as:
arch-chroot -u {{user}} {{path/to/new_root}}


Run a custom command (instead of the default Bash) in the new root directory:
arch-chroot {{path/to/new_root}} {{command}} {{command_arguments}}


Specify the shell, other than the default Bash (in this case, the zsh package should have been installed in the target system):
arch-chroot {{path/to/new_root}} {{zsh}}
